Longo v. Premo
Annotate this Case
Petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to compel the Marion County Circuit Court to issue a protective order with respect to documents and communications subject to the lawyer-client privilege. Petitioner’s proposed protective order sought to prevent the State (the superintendent of the Oregon State Penitentiary) from disclosing such information to third parties unrelated to the underlying post-conviction case. Upon review of the facts and circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court concluded that the post-conviction court’s order denying petitioner’s motion for a protective order was erroneous, and the Court mandated the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandamus requiring the post-conviction court to vacate its order and issue a protective order.
